Meryl Streep and husband Don Gummer have separated after 45 years of marriage.
On Saturday, PEOPLE confirmed that the three-time Oscar winner, 74, and Gummer, 76, quietly ended the romantic nature of their relationship six years ago.
“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” a representative for Streep said in a statement to PEOPLE.
Page Six was the first to report the news.
Although the pair has not been seen publicly together since the 2018 Oscars, the Only Murders in the Building actress was seen wearing her wedding band as recently as Friday at the 2023 Princesa de Asturias Awards in Spain.
On Sept. 30, she and Gummer celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
Gummer, a sculptor from Louisville, Kentucky, met through Streep's brother in 1978. At the time, she was mourning the death of her boyfriend, fellow actor John Cazale, who died of lung cancer.
Once Streep met Gummer, the two had an instant connection. They married just six months later at her parents’ home.
Throughout the years, neither Streep nor Gummer have said much about their love life, but they have been photographed side-by-side on occasion.
